Effect of Surface Morphology on the Stability of Thin Nanostructures

Submitted by ashfaqadnan on

We have recently studied the atomic scale structural stability of
freestanding wavy gold (Au) nanofilms using molecular dynamics
simulations. In recent years, wavy or patterned structurs have shown great promise for applications in various emerging technologies including fuel cells
engineering, tissue engineering, biomedical engineering, creation
of counterfeit-resistant documents , nanolithography in microelectronics, optoelectronics, nanomachinesand many others. It is out of question that the success of these novel applications lies on one crucial factor – the

About a work on theoretical modeling

Submitted by rrahman on

Hi

I am a graduate student at University of Alabama. I am working on Stochastic modeling of damage evolution. Recently I have finished the mathematical/theoretical modeling section. I haven't done any Numerical or FEA simulation or experimental analysis. In this first phase I emphasized on the mathematical formulation and some short proofs. I wish to submit this work to a relevent journal. Can anyone please let me know if there is any suitable journal for this kind purely theoretical as well as solid/applied mechanics work related to stochastic modeling of damage mechanics?

Energy Balance Invariance for Interacting Particle Systems

Submitted by arash_yavari on

This paper studies the invariance of balance of

energy for a system of interacting particles under groups of

transformations. Balance of energy and its invariance is first

examined in Euclidean space. Unlike the case of continuous media,

it is shown that conservation and balance laws do not follow

from the assumption of invariance of balance of energy under

time-dependent isometries of the ambient space. However, the

postulate of invariance of balance of energy under arbitrary

Ok, i have an euler beam having rectangular cross section. but it's shear center axis and neutral axis are different. how can i obtain the equation of motion of this beam for transverse vibrations?
any help??

Can the arc-length algorithm for simulating the plastic collapse of solid structures converge using ANSYS ?

Submitted by pfliu@zju.edu.cn on

For complex composite structures, I have never succeeded in finding the parameter configuration which can reach the convergence using ANSYS. Who can give me some instruction?

 am a student of M. Tech. 2nd year. My project topic for dissertation is "Numerical & Experimental Estimation of Fracture Toughness of Some Materials using Compact Tension Specimen". In this dissertation I also wanted to develop a code which directly gives me the values of stress intensity factor just like ansys.

Actually I have develop an matlab programm (using linear quadrilateral element) which gives me the value of displacement at the cracktip using that i would be finding the displacement extrapolation method i would be calculating stress intensity factors
